Dry heaving in infants may be caused by physiological conditions such as improper feeding, as well as pathological conditions such as indigestion, gastrointestinal infections and pyloric stenosis.
1. Physiological conditions: Dry heaving may be caused by improper feeding position or the nipple sticking into the mouth too long, which is a normal physiological reaction.
2. Pathological conditions: Indigestion can also lead to dry heaving and is usually accompanied by loss of appetite, abdominal pain and bloating;
If an infant eats unhygienically and causes an infection in the gastrointestinal tract, dry heaving may also occur, usually accompanied by fever, diarrhea and other symptoms;
Dry heaving can also be caused by pyloric stenosis, which is a mass in the abdomen.
There may be other causes of dry heaving in infants, so it is recommended to go to the hospital in time to complete the examination and treatment with the help of the doctor to identify the cause of the disease.
